How to build Yoimiya as a main DPS in Genshin Impact

Best weapon: Thundering Pulse

4-star alternative:Rust

Released during the 2.0 update,Thundering Pulseis an incredibly strong bow that works to increase different aspects of damage with a focus on normal ATK. Yoimiya’s versatility means she’s perfect when equipped with this bow. If you can’t get the elusive weapon, though, the 5-starSkyward Harpis also a great option that increases CRIT stats. Finally, for players with more 4-star weapons,Rustand the newly introducedHamayumiare great options as well.

Best artifacts: Crimson Witch of Flames

Alternative:Shimenawa’s Reminiscence

When selecting substats to aim for, focus on Elemental Mastery if you’re using Yoimiya for her Pyro abilities. Otherwise, look for ATK% and a nice ratio between CRIT DMG and CRIT Rate. Whichever you’re focusing on, the following makes for a decent balance:

Talent priority: Firework Flare-Up (Normal Attack)

Party composition

5-star alternative:Kamisato Ayaka replacing Xingqiu as joint-DPS

How to level up Yoimiya

Ascension Materials

To fully ascend Yoimiya, you’ll need:

To secure all these materials, you’ll need to defeat the Pyro Hypostasis more than a few times to get your hands on Smoldering Pearls. You’ll also need to farm Naku Weed, which can be found on land around Inazuma.

Talents

To fully level Yoimiya’s talents, you’ll need 9 Teachings of Transience, 63 Guides to Transience, 114 Philosophies of Transience, 18 Divining Scrolls, 66 Sealed Scrolls, 93 Forbidden Curse Scrolls, 18 Dragon Lord’s Crowns, and 3 Crowns of Insight. Per each one of her three active talents, that means you’ll need the following:

Constellations

Luckily for players who aren’t looking to spend the small fortune required to pull a 5-star character six times, Yoimiya’s Constellations aren’t necessary to have a well-built character. If you’re desperate to fully flesh out your character build, though, Yoimiya’s 6th Constellation offers a lot thanks to its potential to fire an extra Kindling Arrow. Here are all of her Constellations:

How to get Yoimiya in Genshin Impact

Yoimiya is a limited character, so she’s only available at certain times. She made her debut on August 10, 2021, and after a long absence, finally received twobannerreruns in August and November 2022. After historically always running Yoimiya against something incredibly popular and seeing low pull numbers as a result, HoYoverse have finally seen fit to give her a bit of a break this spring, and you can now pull for her on a much less competitive double banner withYae Mikoending onJune 14th, 2023.
